Seems to me there is a large class of calculation problems that do not work
well in DBs, just as there is a large class of data manipulation problems
that do not work well in spreadsheets, not to mention OLAP.

I would be surprised if anyone who has worked extensively with both SS and
DB would disagree.

Of course there are a lot of people using DBs when they should be using SS
and a lot of people using SSs when they should be using DBs, and not nearly
enough people using SSs linked to DB engines!
